34、igh quality fresh food and beverage in the most efficient and friendly manner possible. the intended results are: a very busy operation actually created by a staff which is “making it work” - “making it successful”. in order for your catering facility to work, its necessary to have ground rules that

35、 support us in getting our job done.attendancewere counting on you! you must be on the floor, dressed and ready to work 10 minutes before your shift. youre required to be at work every day you are scheduled. if an emergency should occur that would not permit you to work, you must get in touch with y

36、our manager (not another employee) no less than three hours in advance. if an unusual circumstance occurs that would cause you to be late (even 5 minutes), call a manager (not another employee) and let them know ahead of time. attendance records are kept for each employee and are used in employee ev

38、s used to determine your paycheques, so it is a good idea to remember to clock-in. you are to be in uniform when you sign-in. do not sign-in before changing your clothes.professional presentationyour ability to properly converse with the guest is as important as your appearance. in order to be an ef

39、fective public relations person, you must:look directly at the guest when speakingspeak directly to the guestmove entire mouth while speaking. (if lips and jaw remain still, the speech will be muffled and unintelligible)speak slowly.speak distinctly.speak courteously.speak with vocabulary the guest

40、can understand.speak loud enough.smile.above all, listen. fewer mistakes occur when you are alert to the guest.remember, i am your guestyou often accuse me of carrying a chip on my shoulder. but i suspect that this is because you do not entirely understand me. isnt it normal to expect satisfaction f

41、or ones money spent?ignore my wants and i will simply cease to exist. satisfy those wants and i will become increasingly loyal. add to this satisfaction, any little extra personal attention and friendly touches you can dream up, and i will become a walking advertisement for your restaurant.when i cr

42、iticize your food or service, which i will certainly do whenever i am displeased and to anyone who will listen to me, take heed. i am not dreaming up displeasure. the source of it lies in something that you have failed to do to make my eating experience as enjoyable as i had anticipated. you must fi

43、nd that source and eliminate it or you will lose me and my friends as well.i insist on the right to dine leisurely or eat in haste, according to my mood, schedule or other circumstances. i refuse to be rushed and i despise waiting. this is an important privilege that my money buys from you. if i am

44、not spending big money with you this particular time, just remember that if you treat me right, i will be back later with a larger appetite and more money to spend, and probably with a number of my friends.i am much more sophisticated these days than i was just a few years ago. i have grown accustom

45、ed to better things, and my needs are more complex. i am perfectly willing to spend more money, and i have more money to spend, but i insist on quality to match your prices.i am, above all else, a human being. i am sensitive, especially when spending money. i cannot stand to be snubbed, ignored or l

46、ooked down upon. i am proud. my ego needs the nourishment of a friendly, personal greeting from you.of course, i am a bit of a show off too. but do not condemn me for that because you are probably a little at times yourself. just smile and indulge my whims as best you can. remember, that while you a

47、re feeding me in the literal sense, my money is figuratively, feeding you.achieving and maintaining a gracious, hospitable imagegive a friendly smile and a cheerful, appropriate greeting to each guest. when immediate service is impossible, say to the guest “ill be right with you”, or at least give a

48、 nod and a smile to let the new guest know youve seen them.always be courteous. carefully perform routine procedures. set aside secondary tasks to serve guests. give your complete attention to guests when serving them. pay attention to guests the entire time they are in the facility. thank the guest

49、 for coming to your restaurant.how can you keep everything under control and smile under all circumstances? a positive mental attitude helps. look for good aspects in all situations. a positive attitude makes guests feel that you genuinely desire to please them, that you take pride in your work, and that you are willing to provide extra service.you communicate your attitude to others. positive attitude makes people want to be around you and to patronize your restaurant. guests and fellow employees will respond to you in a positive, friendly way, and will reflect you
